Children’s Clothing Market: Brand Image and Consumer Behavior Research

Children’s Clothing Market: Brand Image and Consumer Behavior Research

A children’s clothing manufacturer at the border of the premium segment approached Hume’s with a request to examine the brand’s condition and image, and to provide insights into both its own customers and the customers of its competitors.

Project Research

Research was conducted among people purchasing children’s clothing using the CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interview). To ensure a sufficient number of brand customers, a booster sample was used. Analyses were carried out with consideration of the client’s most important segmentation criteria.

Qualitative research

Qualitative research was conducted among two groups: brand clients and competitor clients. Both individual in-depth interviews (IDI) and focused group interviews (FGI) were used.

The qualitative stage focused on soft aspects such as: consumer needs and motivations, brand associations — evoked imagery and emotions, and consumer relationships with the brand. It also aimed to deepen insights into consumers identified in the quantitative stage.

The use of complementary methodologies enabled the development of a comprehensive and reliable knowledge base about the brand, its customers, and potential customers.

Effect

The first stage provided hard data, which was further deepened and reflected upon during the second stage. The outcome of the project was two reports:

  • In the quantitative research report, in addition to the classic presentation of response percentages, more complex analyses were also included, such as: IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis), indicating strengths and areas for further development; factor analysis summarizing key factors influencing consumer decisions; gap analysis in consumer satisfaction; NPS (Net Promoter Score); and consumer segmentation using an iterative method and a two-step cluster analysis.
  • The qualitative research report provided insights useful for building marketing strategies and in-depth information about target groups and their opinions on the aesthetics of the presented products.
